Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
For the Crust
  1. I made the crust the previous day as follows:
  2. Put all the ingredients for the crust in the mixer bowl and mix with the hook for 7 minutes.
  3. After this time a soft somewhat elastic and slightly sticky ball will be gathered around the hook.
  4. You can either place it in an oiled glass bowl in the fridge overnight or you can let it rise for several hours until it doubles its volume at room temperature. The choice is yours.
For the Topping
  1. Preheat oven to 200° C / 400° F.
  2. One to two hours before making the topping, take the dough out of the fridge to arrive at room temperature.
  3. In a small pot add the tomato pieces, the ½ tsp of dried oregano, thyme, basil and sugar.
  4. Drizzle some olive oil and let them boil at medium temperature for about five minutes.
  5. Remove and drain them in the strainer.
  6. Take a pan rectangular or cyclical and cover it with parchment paper.
  7. I made my pizza in a rectangular mode and it had dimensions about 50cm. / 20 in. X 30cm. / 11 in.
  8. I like my crust thin so I tried to extend the dough as much as I could.
  9. If you like your dough thick, then make it smaller.
  10. Scatter the chopped, drained tomatoes and the onions.
  11. Add the feta cheese, the ½ tsp of dried oregano and throw the peppers and olives.
  12. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings have melted.
  13. Remove from the oven let it cool for 5 minutes and serve.
